Democratic Presidential Caucus

In Nevada, we have a very special early opportunity to help pick the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. We will be the third state to cast our votes, with our caucus coming after the Iowa Democratic Caucus and New Hampshire Democratic Primary.

The caucus will begin at 11 a.m.
